Be careful!, when topping up
take care not to confuse the
various types of fluids: they
are all incompatible with one
another and could seriously damage
the car.
Never smoke while working
in the engine compartment:
gas and inflammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.

If the oil level is near or even below the
MINmark, add oil through the filler neck
A, until reaching the MAXmark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.
Use engine oil with specifications de-
scribed in paragraph “Fluids and Lubri-
cants” in section “Technical Specifications”
of the Owner Handbook this Supplement
is attached to.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5.000 ÷ 6.000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level. ENGINE OIL fig. 12
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between
marks MINand MAXon the dipstick B.
The gap between MINand MAXmarks
corresponds to about one litre of oil.
fig. 12F0G649m
Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose cloth-
ing might be pulled by moving parts.
